Highly recommended.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. MandatoryBy Vicente F. de Castro NetoThis is a mandatory book in an urban planner or college bookshelf; for it has all the necessary information to complete urban projects. It is my handbook and that says all. It is also very well presented with a hardcover in good leather. The only shortcoming that I see is the absence of folded pages with urban plans in a larger scale; or renderings of zoning plans.
